    This - watched an interview recently with eddie hearns and the topic of what is Froch going to do next and he basically says that Froch has no motivation to fight anyone he's recommended - lemme dig it up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJZdDhLv6d4

    it's in that video somewhere, now I'm not taking everything he says without a pinch of salt, but Froch is getting up their and hasnt been in the ring since Groves II, seems content outside of the ring and getting back into the gym with the right mindset can be the first hurdle.

    Good fight i which i dont wanna see either fighter lose If Froch loses he'll end a great career on a low and if GGG loses he'll be called a hypejob

    I think he will as well. It's the only fight likely to motivate him.

    I get the impression Froch doesn't rate GGG as highly as most and wants to be the man to beat him first.

    The additional 8 pounds just means that he won't be cutting those 8 pounds to make weight, which will probably make him fresher in the ring.

    Froch will poleaxe GGG. I really like Golovkin, nice to have him around but Froch will murder him and that will put a huge dent in GGG's career.

    you need to worry about ward's excuses over the last 4 years. if ggg is prepared to get hit by froch, you can believe he'll risk ward if there's money in it and ward is active and can make 168.

    Hearn said that he talked to Froch and that Froch is interested in the fight. Get the man a tune up fight and let's get this fight done for late 2015 or early 2016.

    ggg made no excuses, just fought whomever would get in the ring with him. ward has done the opposite, while trying to blame everybody else for his inactivity.

    this is the superfight that froch has been looking for. he should take it and secure his legacy, with the odds in his favour sicne he is naturally bigger.


    BUT I doubt golovkin means it. hes safety first.

    Is GGG a name in the UK? Not sure if this can move tickets outside of hardcore boxing fans? How do they get casuals involved?
